Daniel Woo opened his New Chinatown restaurant and supper club in the early 1940s. Located on 6th Avenue South and Main Street in Seattle’s Chinatown (now the Chinatown - International District), it offered both dining and dancing. A January 1944 newspaper ad promotes the New Chinatown as a great place for an evening of fun. It opened at 6:00 pm and stayed open until 3:00 am every night but Monday, serving a large variety of American and Chinese dishes.
The Office of Price Administration (OPA) was established during World War II to control prices on food and other necessities. This menu contains a statement indicating the prices are at or below the OPA limit.
